Race Overview

Only one horse has beaten AYRTON (4) home first up. That horse is I Wish I Win and he very well might be a Newmarket winner by the time Ayrton steps out here. He's been turned over in his past five but he has produced ratings in those runs that are good enough to land him what is a very winnable race. LIFE LESSONS (14) has only had a short break. She was going the right way in a hurry over the summer and the form around her has worked out since. VISINARI (8) resumes having won similar first up last prep. Turned into a very reliable horse at this level in 2022. SCALLOPINI (1) is another gun horse at this level. Got into a terrible spot on the Gold Coast but has won impressively at the C&D either side of that. Early pace offsets the wide draw. Tougher for WORSFOLD (15) but have to like the way that he is racing.
